Common Health Screenings Men Should Know

Blood Pressure Checks

High blood pressure is called the 'silent killer' for a reason. Regular checks protect your heart and lower stroke risk. These simple steps make a big difference.

Cholesterol Screening

Cholesterol affects heart health. A simple blood test can help show if someone may be at higher risk for heart disease and can spot risks early.

Diabetes Screening

Blood sugar checks can catch diabetes or prediabetes early. Early detection gives you and your employees more time to make changes and get the right care.

Colorectal Cancer Screening

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[1] , most adults should start colorectal cancer screening around age 45. If there’s a family history or other risk factors, it’s smart to talk with a doctor about starting sooner.

Prostate Health Conversations

Regular prostate cancer screenings can save lives. For men ages 55 to 69, about 1 death is prevented for every 1,000 men screened over 13 years, according to the US Preventive Services Task Force. Remind your employees to ask their doctor when to discuss prostate health. The right timing depends on age, family history, and personal risk.

Mental Health Check-Ins

Stress, anxiety, and burnout can affect work, home life, and overall health. Remind your team to check in with their doctor and speak up if they need support. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

Supporting Men’s Health Starts With Preventive Care

Building a healthier workplace doesn’t take much. Start with small steps: remind your team to book yearly checkups and make it simple for them to take time for doctor visits, screenings, or follow-ups.

These small choices add up. Regular checkups and screenings help your employees stay ahead of health issues so they can be healthy, focused, and present – both at work and at home.
